Is anyone still on a waiting list from the last Bag of Candy? My purchase still says checking inventory, but when I went to purchase one this time it said "all duplicate orders cancelled" Did I get one, and I don't know it???????

1) Kept a separate browser window open next to the first window, making sure to hit up my Your Account link every 15 minutes or so to be sure I wouldn't have to enter a password.
2) Already had bit.ly typed in the address bar
3) F5F5F5F5F5 in the first window as the timer counted down
4) As soon as the screen changed, I typed the rest of the URL
5) Crap!

I think they need to screw with people and put the Bandolier of Carrots on some of the other pages, not just the main Woot item. Might slow down some of the superhuman typists that somehow get it as soon as it comes up.

Look, the people you are after are the people you depend on: we set up your computers, we deliver your email, we connect your calls, we backup your files, we guard your networks while you sleep. Do not &^$# with us.

I think the majority of us did this. The only crappy thing we got was a crappy time.

It is tougher these days.. and they only do like 25 at a time. When there are hundreds of folks all hitting it at the same time, it's going to go fast.

In the old days, they did a lot more in a sale, but it was only a one-shot deal and usually in the morning. If you missed it, tough luck. It's nice that they give us a few more chances these days.

But, the Bandolier of Carrots are really just a marketing trick any more.. to get people to spend more time on the site and look around more. When woot! did them, they were more for fun, but Amazon saw their real value ;)
